TLDR: always long lines, never a happy face in sight I want to like this CVS so badly. It would be *convenient* if a pharmacy within walking distance from my home was reliable and efficient. It simply isn’t the case. You will never walk out of here...Read More

Don’t get your proscriptions here. Along with my prescription I also needed some needles as I had ran out. I just needed a couple until that specific script could be filled and the pharmacy tried to charge me $5.99 per one. A whole box is...Read More

Even though the lines are long and you have to ask for things to be unlocked, it is my neighborhood CVS and the staff are always friendly and helpful even when busy.

When item searching for is in stock, the go ahead is to purchase when a nearby location does not have item in-stock. It's great to have 2 CVS near each other in a densely residential neighborhood.

Today I learned that whether I’m told: 1. Your prescription has been sent to the wrong pharmacy, and that pharmacy is not a CVS, and I have no idea which pharmacy it is; or 2. Your prescription will be ready in 15 minutes, no problem...Read More

My experience with CVS Pharmacy this morning was unexpectedly positive. My first visit to this particular location was prompted by the need for a hard-to-find medication, unavailable at my regular CVS.Attempts to reach a tech/PharmD at my usual pharmacy (Morrissey Blvd) were unsuccessful, leading me...Read More

Stay away from the pharmacy. I have no problem with the retail portion of the store, the pharmacy on the other hand was an absolute garbage fire. On top of a technical disconnect between care providers and CVS, the young pharmacists generally don’t seem to care...Read More
